What Do Teenagers Need From Parents?

April 16th, 2008 by kdanielle

    Every teenager wants computers, T.V.’s, I-pods, ski-doos, etc. And I don’t blame them partly because I’m a teenager and partly because it’s good to have those things. All parents want to give there kid(s) what they want and need; and the people that can have everything they want and need are lucky to be able to have that source.

From my parents I want things like the necessities in life, like a bed, food, a house, and clothes. But I also want the other things that people don’t really need, but they have more fun with them. :P

So being a good parent mainly involves the necessities in life, privileges, and discipline…not giving your kid everything they want and letting them have their way. To become a successful person in life teenagers need a healthy structure, but also they need to not be controlled, let them do as they please every once in a while; people need their space. And with them being a teenager they need more freedom from when they were 6 years old. Mainly…they need to grow up, and learn to do things for themselves.

So being a good parent overall is to have a structure for your kid(s) but also let them have their freedom.

    We have pretty much the same meaning of this post. I think the same stuff you do like a parent has to give us freedom a house and food and stuff like that. I also think that a parent should give love and attention. I would hate my life if my parents didn’t give me all this. well go to go. byee.

    Man, I got chocked when I read you blog, it was like you read my mind. Seriously, it’s great that there are people who think the same as me. But I have one problem, my parents are divorced.

    Hi my name is Ylva, I live in the capital of Sweden, in Stockholm. We have a school task there we are going to blogg in English and comment other blogs.
    I think that you have a pretty good opinion. At least dose you have the same opinion as I have. But I think that parents knead to say “no” sometimes because in other way you take evry thing fore given. Ore?
    You don’t have any ‘cool’ links but I don’t have it either because I don’t know hove to do. :)
    I wonder were you have got your pictures from because you don’t have written it. Have you taken them by your self?

    I completely agree with you when you say that kids need to have discipline and structure, but at the same time they also need to have their space and freedom. They should trust that their child will do what is right. So i think you really did a good job. - Jhosselinne
